- Census: 1921, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland
- Voter: 1928, Calvert, Newfoundland
- Will: 10 May 1932, Calvert, Newfoundland
Notes:
Birth:
The number of John Joseph, John, and Joseph Swains baptized at Fermeuse in 1859 and 1860 has caused much confusion. Some researchers have shown that this John Joseph was baptized there on the 9 April 1860. However, that baptism record shows the child's name was just Joseph, so I have concluded that the record is probably not for this John Joseph, but likely a brother, Joseph. In 1889, John Joseph went to British Columbia. Information from his Victoria, BC marriage record (MRI) states that John was 41 years old when he married in May 1900. The fact that this John J. Swain was the son of Joseph Swain and Anne/Anna Power is confirmed in his marriage record.
Census:
Frank Meaney, John Joseph Swain and John Williams (from Ferryland?) were all living in the same household in Victoria, British Columbia when the 1891 Census was enumerated.
Voter:
1898 Voters List- Victoria City; British Columbia - Swain, John, Brick Row, Sapperton, Carpenter, NWC Swain, John Joseph, Fire Hall, north side Pandora St, Carpenter.
Census:
In the 1911 Canada Census, at Vancouver, British Columbia, John and his son,Clifford, were boarders with a family named Redpath.
Residence:
Shortly after the 1911 Canada Census, John returned to Newfoundland from British Columbia. He was accompanied by his eleven year old son, Clifford. In September of 1912, he married Harriett (Doran) Meaney (widow of Frank Meaney) and built a small house on the Northside of Calvert near Harriett's daughter, Mary Anne (Minnie), who had married Ambrose Walsh. An old Bill of Sale, dated March 31, 1931, shows that John's land had came into his possession from Richard (Rich) Sullivan. The land, house, and furniture were willed to Martin Reddigan (my father) on the 10 day of May 1932. (Kevin Reddigan).
Census:
In the 1921 Newfoundland Census, there is no record for John Joseph Swain and any of his immediate family.It is unclear if this was an omission since they were not recorded elsewhere in Newfoundland.
Voter:
John Swain (of Joseph) was not listed in the 1924 Voters List at Calvert. However, he was an eligible voter at Calvert in the 1928 Voters List, but his wife Harriet was not listed.
Will:
This is the Last Will and Testament of me John Joseph Swain of Calvert, (North Side) Newfoundland. I give and bequeath my house on North Side of Calvert, N.F.Ld. and my furniture to Martin Redigan Calvert, North Side, N.F.Ld. and ask him to have Masses said for the repose of my soul, by the Rev. P Sheehan P.P. of Ferryland. In Witness whereof, I the said John Joseph Swain have to this my last Will and Testament set my name this 10th day of May 1932.
Signed - John Joseph Swain
Witnesses 1) Bernard Meaney
2) Ambrose Walsh
Buried:
John died on, or about, 7 September 1932 and was buried in the Reddigan family plot in Holy Trinity RC Cemetery. John's only request, as a condition of the will, was that Martin Reddigan should have regular Masses said for the repose of his soul. Various slips of paper (receipts) from our old house (torn down in 1995) show that Masses for the repose of the soul of John Swain were still being said into the 1980s. (Kevin Reddigan)
John married Elizabeth Amalda Rhodes 2 May 1900, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Elizabeth (daughter of Joseph Rhodes and Catharine Angeline Piaggio) was born 15 Jun 1874, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada; died 17 Mar 1907, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada; was buried 19 Mar 1907, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

John married Harriett Ann Doran 15 Sep 1912, Holy Trinity RC Parish, Ferryland, Newfoundland. Harriett was born Abt 1868; died Aft 1912. [Group Sheet]

| 4. | Joseph Swain (1.Joseph1) was born Abt Apr 1860, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; died Yes, date unknown, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland. Other Events:
- Baptism: 9 Apr 1860, Holy Apostles Parish, (Fermeuse/Renews), Newfoundland
Notes:
This child is recorded as "Joseph" Swain in the Holy Apostles Parish Baptism records. Some researchers have shown this individual as John Joseph Swain, whom I believe may have actually been a brother born in the previous year. Taking the baptism record as factual, it appears that this Joseph died young since another child, also named Joseph was born abt. September 1865 (Kevin Reddigan).

| 5. | William Swain (1.Joseph1) was born Abt 1863, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; died 26 Mar 1894, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; was buried Abt 28 Mar 1894, Holy Trinity RC Cemetery, Ferryland, Ferryland District, Newfoundland, Canada. Notes:
No one seems quite sure which branch of the Swain family William was a part of. In 1890, he was referred to as "William Swain of Stone Island, Caplin Bay, District of Ferryland" when he was given a Crown Land grant (#6410 - Volume 41, Page 99) "on the North side of Local Road at Stone Island, Caplin Bay". His land was adjacent to land granted, just a few days earlier, to Joseph Swain. William's land was also bounded on the south boundary by land in the possession of Laurence Sullivan. The witnesses at his marriage were Alfred Canning and Mary Swain, who were also married a few months later. I think it is likely that William was the brother of Mary (of Joseph Swain and Anne Power). William was noted as being 28 when they married in August 1892. His death record says he was born in Caplin Bay and he was 31 yrs. old when he died in 1894. He was only married about a year and a half when he died, less than a year after the death of his only child, Albert. (Kevin Reddigan)
William married Elizabeth "Lizzie" Mullowney 22 Aug 1892, Holy Trinity RC Parish, Ferryland, Newfoundland. Elizabeth (daughter of Thomas Mullowney and Mary Gash) was born Abt 1867, Tickle Cove, Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland; died 2 Apr 1897, Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States; was buried Abt 4 Apr 1897, Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States.

- Census: 1930, Bristol, Hartford, Connecticut, United States
Notes:
Immigration:
Before he entered the US, John had to complete a pre-examination in Canada to determine if he could emigrate. This pre-examination was carried at Saint John, New Brunswick on 20 Aug 1923, two days after he arrived in that port from Newfoundland on the SS. Kyle. He stated he hadn't been in the US before and his intended destination was the home of his cousin Emma (Power) Sullivan who lived at 49A Saratoga St., East Boston, Massachusetts. (John and Emma were second cousins through their grandparents Joseph Swain and Mary (Swain) Walsh respectively).
According to the manifests, John Canning was eventually allowed to enter the US in March 1924. It notes that his father's name was Alfred Canning from Calvert.
Residence:
According to the City Directories for Bristol, CT, John lived with the Jackman family in 1925 and 1926. In 1927, he is shown as living next door at # 8 Franklin Street. He lived there until his death, which according to the Bristol CT directories, occurred on June 11, 1943 at the age of 41.
Census:
In the 1930 US Census, John Canning, from Newfoundland, was living at #8 Franklin Street in Bristol, Connecticut. He had been married for two years and his wife's name was Gertrude C. She was born in Connecticut, but her parents were from Newfoundland. There are no children shown in the census and it appears that both of them were working. They were next door neighbours of Arthur Jackman (of Renews?) and his wife Ellen (Clancy of Calvert?) who lived at #10 Franklin Street.
Died:
In the 1945 Bristol City Directory, the widow Gertrude C. Canning is recorded as living at #10 Franklin St. It also gives the death date of her husband, John J., as 11 Jun 1943.
John married Gertrude C. Jackman Abt 1926. Gertrude (daughter of Arthur J. Jackman and Ellen J. Clancy) was born Oct 1899, Connecticut, United States; died 6 Jul 1992, West Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut, United States. [Group Sheet]
